On Thursday 17 November there will be a Santa’s grotto, stilt-walking Jack Frosts, a rodeo reindeer and live music to mark the start of the city’s late night shopping campaign, which runs every Thursday up to Christmas.
The Bogus Brothers five-piece band will also be returning to their home city to play live music between 7pm – 9pm.
